(NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR), (ASUR) the first privatized airport group in Mexico and operator of Cancun Airport and eight other airports in southeast Mexico, today announced results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008.

3Q08 Highlights1:

  • EBITDA2 increased by 2.11% to Ps.439.3 million.

  • Total passenger traffic was up 6.90%.

  • Operating profit declined by 0.16%.

  • EBITDA margin was 39.22% compared with 41.30% in 3Q07.

1. Unless otherwise stated, all financial figures discussed in this announcement are unaudited, prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards and represent comparisons between the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008, and the equivalent three-month period ended September 30, 2007. Results for 3Q07 and 9M07 are expressed in constant Mexican pesos as of December 31, 2007, while 3Q08 and 9M08 results are in nominal pesos. Tables state figures in thousands of pesos, unless otherwise noted. Passenger figures exclude transit and general aviation passengers. Commercial revenues include revenues from the activities of non-permanent ground transportation and parking lots. All U.S. dollar figures are calculated at the exchange rate of US$1 = Ps.10.9814.

2. EBITDA means net income before: provision for taxes, deferred taxes, deferred employees profit sharing, non-ordinary items, comprehensive financing cost, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. Our management believes that EBITDA provides a useful measure of our performance that is widely used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance and compare it with other companies. EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and may be calculated differently by different companies.

Consolidated Results for 3Q08

Total revenues for 3Q08 increased year-over-year by 5.14% to Ps.734.3 million. This was mainly due to increases of:

  • 7.05% in revenues from aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 6.90% rise in passenger traffic; and

  • 1.54% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 1.05% rise in commercial revenues detailed below.

ASUR classifies commercial revenues as those derived from the following activities: duty-free services, car rental, retail, banking and currency exchange, advertising, teleservices, non-permanent ground transportation, food and beverage, and parking lots.

Commercial revenues rose by 1.05% year-over-year during the quarter, mainly as a result of revenue increases in the following areas principally from the rise in passenger traffic:

  • 31.42% in duty-free stores;

  • 19.38% in banking and currency exchange services;
  • 14.54% in advertising;
  • 12.43% in ground transportation;
  • 8.34% in retail operations; and
  • 2.50% in car rental companies.

These increases were partially offset with declines in the following areas:

  • 32.92% in food and beverage;

  • 6.48% in teleservices;
  • 6.37% in other revenues; and
  • 4.35% in parking lots.

Retail revenues continued to benefit from higher concession fees from local craft and specialty shops, teleservices and tourism operators. The increase in car rental revenues reflects rate increases negotiated in October 2007 and the lease of eight new commercial parking facilities in Terminal 3. Revenues from banking and currency exchange services rose as a result of the opening of new Banco Santander branches at the Cancun, Merida and Veracruz airports.

During July 2007, ASUR received a one time payment of Ps.18 million from a food and beverage concessionaire.

Total operating costs and expenses for 3Q08 increased 8.86% year over year, primarily as a result of:

  • a 15.50% increase in cost of services, primarily reflecting increases of 22.88% in energy costs, 13.38% in personnel, 49.46% in professional fees, 6.07% in the cost of security services, 42.04% in maintenance costs and 5.81% in cleaning costs. The increase in personnel costs reflects the personnel reorganization implemented in the 2Q08, while the increase in maintenance costs resulted mainly from the operation of Terminal 3 at Cancun Airport, in operation since May 2007. Professional fees increased as a result of services and studies received in connection with the negotiation of the master development plan for 2008-2023;
  • a 6.75% increase in depreciation and amortization, resulting from the depreciation of investments in fixed assets and improvements made to concession assets; and

  • a 1.84% increase in concession fees paid to the Mexican government, mainly due to higher revenues (a factor in the calculation of the fee).

These increases were partially offset by reductions of 6.58% in administrative expenses and of 2.28% in the technical assistance fee paid to ITA, reflecting the decline in EBITDA for the quarter (a factor in the calculation of the fee).

Operating margin for the quarter declined to 39.22% from 41.30% in 3Q07. This was mainly the result of the 8.86% increase in costs, which more than offset the 5.14% increase in revenues during the period.

Following the changes in Mexican tax law that took effect January 1, 2008, which established a new flat rate business tax (“Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica”, or “IETU”) and eliminated the asset tax, we evaluated and reviewed our deferred assets and liabilities position under Mexican Financial Reporting Standards. As a result of this review, we created a deferred IETU provision that resulted in a charge to income in the quarter of Ps.1.45 million. During 3Q08, the ASUR subsidiaries that pay IETU made provisional tax payments of Ps.42.46 million.

Net income for 3Q08 declined to Ps.233.91 million, from Ps.242.17 million in 3Q07. Earnings per common share for the quarter were Ps.0.7797, or earnings per ADS (EPADS) of US$0.7100 (one ADS represents ten series B common shares). This compares with Ps.0.8072, or EPADS of US$0.7351, for the same period last year.

Consolidated Results for 9M08

Total revenues for 9M08 increased year-over-year by 13.61% to Ps.2,412.7 million. This was mainly due to increases of:

  • 10.35% in revenues from aeronautical services as a result of the 11.69% rise in passenger traffic during the period; and

  • 20.83% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 22.92% rise in commercial revenues detailed below, which in turn was a consequence of the increase in passenger traffic.

Commercial revenues for 9M08 rose by 22.92% year-over-year, principally as a result of revenue increases from the following areas:

  • 38.96% from duty-free revenues;
  • 25.40% from retail revenues;
  • 26.82% from advertising revenues;
  • 29.10% from banking and currency exchange services;
  • 23.45% from ground transportation services;
  • 10.56% from teleservices;
  • 10.63% from food and beverage;
  • 5.41% from parking lot revenues;

  • 6.38% from car rental companies; and
  • 22.04% from other income.

Total operating costs and expenses for 9M08 increased by 9.65%, mainly due to the following:

  • a 7.40% increase in cost of services, due mainly to increases of 25.88% in energy costs, 14.91% in professional fees, 14.81% in security costs, and 21.72% in maintenance expenses, in each case resulting from the opening of Terminal 3 in May 2007;

  • a 0.58% increase in administrative expenses;

  • a 12.90% increase in depreciation and amortization, resulting from the depreciation of investments in fixed assets and improvements made to concession assets;

  • a 15.46% rise in technical assistance costs reflecting the corresponding increase in EBITDA during the period; and

  • a 12.50% increase in concession fees, mainly due to higher revenues.

Operating margin increased to 45.76% for 9M08, up from 43.80% for 9M07. This was mainly the result of the 13.61% increase in revenues, which more than offset the 9.65% increase in costs and expenses during the period.

Net income for 9M08 increased by 17.94% to Ps.841.14 million. Earnings per common share for the period were Ps.2.8038, or earnings per ADS (EPADS) of US$2.5532 (one ADS represents ten series B common shares). This compares with Ps.2.3773, or EPADS of US$2.1649, for the same period last year.

Tariff Regulation

The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation regulates the majority of ASUR’s activities by setting maximum rates, which represent the rates for the maximum possible revenues allowed per traffic unit at each airport.

ASUR’s regulated revenues for the first nine months of 2008 were Ps.1,649.91 million, resulting in an annual average tariff per workload unit of Ps.116.37. ASUR’s regulated revenues accounted for approximately 71.20% of total income for the period.

The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation reviews compliance with the maximum rates on an annual basis at the close of each year.

Balance Sheet

On September 30, 2008, Airport Facility Usage Rights and Airport Concessions represented 79.07% of the Company’s total assets, with current assets representing 16.18% and other assets representing 4.75%.

On September 30, 2008, cash and marketable securities were Ps.1,776.78 million. On the same date, shareholder’s equity was Ps.14,746.67 million and total liabilities were Ps.2,325.60 million, representing 86.79% and 13.62% of total assets, respectively. Total deferred liabilities represented 82.31% of the Company’s total liabilities.

Capital Expenditures

Recent Developments

ASUR Purchases 130 Hectares Of Land In Huatulco

On October 17, 2008, Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (“ASUR”) paid Ps. 286.3 million to purchase 130 hectares of land on Huatulco bay from the National Tourism Fund, or FONATUR. ASUR won the right to purchase this land through a public bidding process initiated in August 2008. The transaction was authorized by ASUR’s Board of Directors on September 11, 2008.

This acquisition is part of a program launched by the Federal Government and FONATUR to promote and accelerate the development of Huatulco as a flagship city for Mexican tourism in the Pacific Region. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, ASUR is required to construct at least 1,300 hotel rooms on the property over the next four years.

ASUR intends to sign agreements with third parties, including tourism real estate developers and hotel operators, to develop the acquired 130 hectares with the objective of generating self-sufficient and profitable independent projects while meeting FONATUR’s requirements.

ASUR believes that to achieve a substantial increase in passenger traffic at Huatulco airport, this destination requires an additional number of available hotel rooms. As a result, ASUR, acting as promoter of the region, intends to conduct studies to determine how best to develop the land and to fulfill related requirements necessary to facilitate the commercialization of these projects.

ASUR believes the investment required for this project in 2009 will not be significant.
